Canadians Michael Woods, Hugo Houle and Guillaume Boivin will ride together in Israel\u002DPremier Tech\u0027s entry for the Tour de France.
It will mark the seventh Grand Tour race and third straight Tour de France appearance for Boivin, a 34-year-old from Montreal.“We bring a strong team, ready to race aggressively, with the main goal of going for stage wins,” said Rik Verbrugghe, Israel-Premier Tech’s sports manager. “We all know that it’s hard to win a stage in the Tour, but I believe that each of our eight selected riders has what it takes to be victorious in this race.
The Canadian was also honoured as the Giro’s “super-combative rider.” His performance was rewarded after the race with a new contract that runs through 2028. Israel-Premier Tech sees Woods and Teuns leading the team in the mountains, with Boivin a possible contender to win a stage himself.Article content
